Hello! As you will have noticed, I'm not Greg. This is not because I've
staged a coup, but because Greg has put me in charge of announcing the
pubmeets as well as booking them. So without further ado...
The May social will be at the Shooting Star, near Liverpool Street Station,
on Thursday 8 May. We have the function room in the basement all to ourselves.
Maps, more info, etc:

Standard blurb:
Social meets are a chance for the various members of the group to meet
up face to face and chat with each other about things - both Perl and
non Perl - and newcomers are more than welcome. The monthly meets tend to
be bigger than the other ad hoc meetings that take place at other times
and we make sure that they're in easy to get to locations and the pub
serves food (meaning that people can eat in the bar if they want to.)
They normally start around 6.30pm (or whenever people get there after
work) and a group tends to be left come closing time.
If you're a new comer or other first timer (even if you've been lurking
on the mailing list or on IRC) then please seek Greg out - we have a
tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a
drink (alcoholic or not, either's fine) and introduces them to people.
